Ancient Spiritual Texts in a Comtemporary World

Humanity
treasures the ancient texts that have survived the ravages of intolerance,
wars, natural disasters and decay. When these books are of spiritual
significance they take on even greater esteem. Finding new works is marvellous
to some and abhorrent to others if they feel it alters their established
beliefs. This begs the question: are religious and spiritual organisations
focused more on dogma, culture or faith? A quick look may reveal your personal
beliefs, but is there any room for adjustment?

Some revered
books and manuscripts where written between 1000 CE and 2000 BCE, which can
create a clash for those in contemporary society. These holy books are rich
with wisdom, though there may be a few things that don’t fit into modern
living. Present day culture has come a long way so we must take what is
relevant to us from these precious books and leave the archaic. Beliefs that
were the standard within society 2000 years ago or even in the middle ages do
not fit easily today. Yet there is a simple purity to the words of holy men and
women that is appreciated and still current for those seeking peace and sacred
knowledge.

Sometimes we
are amazed that such wisdom and clarity could have been imparted so long ago. It
seems clear that certain authors had a unique spiritual presence in their
lifetime, something that still hold its significance today. So read, learn and
continue – you’ll know when some phrases or thoughts do not apply.
